Post Body

Backstory: After the just the second day of having my touch controllers I was playing Dead and Buried, while crouched and hiding I went up to shoot and was violently pulled down. I had been stepping on my cable while crouching. This happened twice through my first multiplayer session and had a feeling If I continued doing this I'd soon have issues.

Soon after my brother in law visits and I take him on a touch tour, I introduced him to First Touch, Bullet Train then Dead and Buried after a short shooting range intro we jump on Multiplayer and as soon as the game starts he goes to crouch, gets up and sure enough he stepped on the cable and the headset blacks out giving me a 'No HDMI connected' error.

My Idea: I have a small theater/game room with a soffit setup. I'm thinking of running an extended HDMI and USB up to my soffit from my PC and connecting my headset to the ceiling with something like this so my cable is always suspended. Anyone have any ideas on how to go about achieving this to allow for low ground movement and standing without the cable being stepped on again? I remember someone have done this but can't seem to find anything while searching. I guess I need to find a solution that lets me suspend the cable while being reasonably freeing.

TLDR: So I am currently Rift-less because I've destroyed my headset cable by stepping on it while moving and I'm looking for a solution to avoid this in the future while I wait for a replacement cable.

This usually works for me but soon becomes irrelevant when visitors come over as we don't have shoe less rules in the house lol!

Thanks for your input, I definitely want to keep the pull at a minimum. Even the slight pull from the cable dangling behind my head gets annoying at times. I've read about the dog leashes somewhere before but never about the keychain solution, interesting idea!

Interesting, would you happened to have any pictures of your setup?
